***BTTF VI: Draft Over! See you in October (1 Viewer)

[Koya]

In fact, this must be the first time since opening day that literally everyone on my team other than starting pitchers in the rotation are at 100% - full lineup and backups and my entire pen.

 

[Greco]

Trade accepted. Losing streak at 17.  Six man bullpen lowest ERA 13.10.

 

[jfranco77]

I will ask the WIS people to remove the fake players. 

WIS allows the commish to re-do the playoff teams if teams are somehow ineligible for the playoffs... so if we decide we want to go that route, we can.

 

[the moops]

Tobias pulling a  :cstu:

 

[cheese]

My bigger complaint is why can't I hit that fake guy!

 

[AcerFC]

I need fake guys bc my real guys are the suck. So glad my first round.pick has an era of 6

 

[cheese]

Stephen Drew is a beast

 

[RnR]

WIS is dead to me.

 

[Bogart]

DOSO with the top three Cy Young candidates in our league and the Fireman frontrunner.

Best I have is Andrus winning both the Silver Slugger and Gold Glove.

a lot of that is having a -4 ballpark

Well look at you <_<  

 

[Spartans Rule]

Through 71 games, Mookie Betts is batting .416 and Khris Davis has already crossed the 100 RBI mark.

 

[scoobus]

Seems reasonable.

 

[Bogart]

Well, at least we are getting a Rookie Of The Year award this year.

 

[the moops]

26th round pick, Travis Jankowski is batting 338/432/483 and has 27 stolen bases

And looks like Tobias and his fake players are running away with the rookie of the year award

I'm 2-0 vs Nevernudes, keep doing what you're doing 

 

[Northern Voice]

If I completely ignore this and use the sim's dumb #### recommendations like Jake McGee as closer, I go on nice winning streaks. Then it gets me interested again and I try to use an actual rational lineup and promptly lose a bunch in a row. In other words, screw this sim.

 

[Greco]

Edwin Jackson has a 19.54 ERA with 60.1 innings pitched.

3 straight games vs. Drew Smyly, Chase Anderson, and Carlos Rodon should perk you up.

 

[oso diablo]

this is the message at the top of our standings page:

Violations of theme league rules will result in a $500,000 fine per violation and/or game forfeiture.

I'd like to file an official protest for the game last night between oso tremendo and Nevernudes, because Nevernudes played an ineligible player. This player, Orlando Landy, started at catcher.

I believe the remedy, per the above note, should be game forfeiture.

Blows my mind that @TobiasFunke is ignoring this. Literally takes two minutes to pop in and change it. No apology needed. Very CSTU-ish.

 

[RnR]

If calling it "CSTU-ish" doesn't draw him out... nothing will.

This is an official protest for the 12/9 PM game between oso tremendo and Nevernudes. Same reason as before.

you only got 4 hits total against Dan Straily and Braden Shipley.

Protest denied

####, missed this tag. Is there a rule against using fake players?  I thought when used AAA, and that meant real and fake.

I'll bench them both now and adjust when I have more time.  

 

[TobiasFunke]

For what it's worth my players were basically a platooning replacement at C to give Norris some rest once every 4-5 games who was prob no better than whoever I sent down to use him, and a guy I used for mop-up so he shouldn't have changed any game results.  

Nevertheless, I'll take myself out of the playoff running (default to next team if I make it) but will continue to manage my team so competive balance of the league isn't affected, if that works for everyone. If not I'll submit to whatever punishment you all feel is appropriate, including a spanking from Moops

 

[TobiasFunke]

Looks like you guys tagged me a bunch of times. Not sure how they fell through the cracks.  Prob because my posts get so many likes it gets lost in the shuffle.  Next time send a PM.

Seriously- my bad, should have read the rules closer. Like I said I doubt either guy changed much given the roles I put them in but do what we you all feel is best

 

[RnR]

CSTU comparison... 60 percent of the time it works every time.

Matt Carpenter hit 4 HRs in a game; this will be the crowning achievement of my season. Sorry NV.

 

[oso diablo]

anyone else not have a single guy on the all-star team? was it for a team leading its division, like oso tremendo?

thanks wis

meh

you have ####### 5 pitchers from your other team on the other leagues roster.

the psychology of this is pretty interesting. i was more annoyed by the one team having no one than i was elated by the other team having 6.

 

[Greco]

Not all teams have an All Star.

 

[Spartans Rule]

SP with 4.53 ERA = All-Star
OF with 39 HR, 109 RBI <> All-Star

This thing might just be a tad skewed toward offense.

 

[Greco]

Kevin Quackenbush with an ERA of 20.51 with 43 IP.   

This is ####### awesome.

 

[Koya]

Edwin Encarnacion is now second in the MVP voting.

NOT AN ALL STAR.

 

[Frostillicus]

Kevin Quackenbush with an ERA of 20.51 with 43 IP.   

This is ####### awesome.

The good news is that based on run differential and expected w/l record you're actually winning quite a few more games than you should.

 

[Frostillicus]

Four of my starters have an ERA between 5.71 and 5.79.  That's kind of weird.

Then again, 23-3 barnburners kinda throw things off a bit.

Strongly rooting for Kris Davis to break the HR and RBI record.

someone broke it in last year's sim, iirc

 

[oso diablo]

oso tremendo has extra PAs for outfield and 1B, if anyone is looking for some. Have some guys in AAA that it doesn't look like i'll need, barring a trade.

 

[Bogart]

I just noticed that about my starters yesterday: 5.35, 5.55, 5.35, 5.59, 6.72

Stupid Wacha not keeping in line.

Considering the fact he is a reliever and you had him throw 143 and you sent him out there at 55, I'm not surprised he got rocked.

 Coco Crisp current slash line .344/.433/.630 

 

[Bogart]

Have we had anyone hit 0.400 in this thing? 

Also, Billy Hamilton with 44 SBs, with just over half the ABs of most regulars. Insane. The ball is clearly juiced, and the players, bats, bases, stadiums and everything else.
